Thread: OEL price
I keep seeing the talk of OEL to Calgary. I really don't see it happening unless a serious sacrifice is made by Arizona. AZ has already made huge mistakes recently (Hall and draft penalty) so I could see them being desperate to get picks.

Outside of hockey, the Arizona organization is probably struggling for money right now, as is Calgary (but not to the same extent). I could see a deal where a player from CGY has their bonus paid then traded the next day. Such as waiting until July when Lucic gets a $3 million bonus, then is traded right after. Relevant picks/prospects would then be needed to equal out the trade. But I am certainly not the most knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff so I am making this up as I go.

I like the signing of DeMelo if he chooses Calgary. You still have a bit of cap space to play with to try and bolster the team (but as previously noted, I could see the org trying to go a year saving some money because of the COVID money crunches).

I feel Hamonic won't be signing in Calgary and you're paying Brodie a bit too much- would rather sign a cheaper D-man if he will cost that much. In the Fluery trade, his contract is not very friendly. I feel we could almost wait a season riding Talbot and wait for VGK to pay the Flames to take the contract. I don't mean to pick it apart too much but Carrier just signed in Feburary so I am unsure if VGK would want to trade him so soon.

I don't think Montreal retains salary in the Tatar trade but I do like the idea there! It possibly could be only 1 2nd from Calgary depending on how good Juulsen is; I don't know him well enough for the valuation.

To make this work you'd need to open up the cap a bit, probably by trading Ryan (and assuming MTL does retain). I like the ideas you've put forward!
